Car culture, aircrafts and space age<\/strong> were a strong combination that influenced the alien architecture<\/strong> developed in the Flushing Meadows Corona Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called Googie Architecture<\/a>. For those who haven\u2019t heard about it –\u00a0 a must<\/strong> if we\u2019re supposed to live in the US for a while – Googie Architecture<\/strong> is a perverse form of architecture that combines futurism with car and aircraft industries<\/strong>, together with the so-called Spatial and Atomic Ages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You got it! It was born in the States during the 40\u2019s and remained present in almost every single architecture event till the 60\u2019s. The New York World\u2019s Fair<\/strong> wasn\u2019t an exception and contributed to the construction of many examples still alive in the heart of Queens\u2026 if \u201calive\u201d means plainly \u201cstanding up\u201d.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend this visit<\/strong>. Not only is it worth it to know by first hand vivid examples of Googie Architecture (the single architecture style that can be explained through a McDonnald\u2019s stand), but also because the site is quite inspiring and alien to any other park<\/strong> I\u2019ve been to before. Spring is almost here, grab a coffee and find yourself wandering through the landscape that was supposed to represent the future. How different things ended up being\u2026 or maybe not so different!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
